Abstract
Computed tomography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (CT-guided PCI) represents a new paradigm that extends coronary CT angiography (CCTA) from diagnostic imaging to procedural planning. By integrating morphological and physiological information, CCTA enables a comprehensive understanding of lesion characteristics and supports individualized revascularization strategies before PCI. Advances in myocardial mass quantification, CT-derived physiology, and three-dimensional co-registration have enhanced the procedural relevance of CCTA. Emerging technologies, such as photon-counting CT, are expected to further refine accuracy and broaden clinical applicability. These innovations are transforming CCTA from a diagnostic modality into a central platform for precision PCI planning. Currently, the clinical utility of CT-guided PCI is being actively evaluated across multiple prospective trials and registries, reflecting growing interest in its role for guiding contemporary PCI. Collectively, these developments are transforming CCTA from a diagnostic modality into a central platform for precision PCI planning. The goal of this review is to outline the concept, workflow, and clinical applications of CT-guided PCI, highlighting the transition of CCTA from diagnosis to comprehensive procedural design and decision-making.
期刊介绍:
The official journal of the Japanese College of Cardiology is an international, English language, peer-reviewed journal publishing the latest findings in cardiovascular medicine. Journal of Cardiology (JC) aims to publish the highest-quality material covering original basic and clinical research on all aspects of cardiovascular disease. Topics covered include ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease, vascular disease, hypertension, arrhythmia, congenital heart disease, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment, new diagnostic techniques, and cardiovascular imaging. JC also publishes a selection of review articles, clinical trials, short communications, and important messages and letters to the editor.
